Health information behavior of newcomers to Quebec (Canada) in a transnational and pandemic context
Arriving in a new country involves many challenges and adaptations, especially in the midst of a health crisis like the COVID-19 pandemic. How people have sought out, consumed, and acted on health information of all sorts has been an important part of research on the social dynamic of the pandemic response. Information flows may be particularly complex for newcomers whose experience, language and cultural backgrounds are different from those of t…
Individual and Environmental Correlations with Vaccination Status in Canada
Navigating the (perceived) risk
Intensive parenting culture imposes upon parents the responsibility to invest all their cognitive and affective resources to protect their children’s health, making parenting a risky business that triggers anxiety and possible regret. In this context, decisions about childhood vaccinations assume a critical significance, implying, with vaccine acceptance and refusal, the posture that public health literature defines as vaccine hesitancy. Based up…
‘It’s not something that you just do
Deciding to get children vaccinated against COVID-19 is not something families ‘just do’ in contexts where neoliberal values shape social norms and governance. Vaccination decisions are socially situated, involve multiple actors, and require careful consideration of competing risks in relation to expectations of ‘good’ parents. Informed by theoretical approaches to emotion and risk, our study contributes to understanding parents’ perspectives of …
Investigating attributes of stigma towards individuals who did not receive a Covid-19 vaccine
Frustrated, hopeless and hesitant
Rationale Healthcare professionals (HCPs) play an important role in addressing vaccine hesitancy (VH), yet current interventions often rely on skills-based training (e.g., Motivational Interviewing) while overlooking HCPs’ internal value conflicts. Understanding these conflicts (such as attitudes or emotions of VH, frustration, hopelessness and discomfort with persuasion) may help training HCPs in this area. Method Drawing on Socialisation Theory…
« On se sent un peu comme dans une chasse aux sorcières »
Dans un contexte de vives tensions entre les médecines alternatives et complémentaires et la biomédecine, cet article explore les dynamiques de confiance, de pouvoir et d’expérience au sein de la naturopathie québécoise. Ancrées dans la théorisation de la confiance du sociologue Anthony Giddens, nous analysons comment la modernité réflexive et les relations de pouvoir asymétriques influencent les perspectives et les pratiques en santé des naturo…
Vaccination
La vaccination est l’une des interventions les plus efficaces en santé publique après l’accès à l’eau potable. Bien plus qu’une technologie biomédicale, elle est profondément ancrée dans des contextes historiques, sociaux et politiques. Si l’histoire de la vaccination remonte à la variolisation en Asie et en Afrique, l’anthropologie s’y est intéressée plus récemment, notamment avec le Programme élargi de vaccination de l’OMS. Les anthropologues a…
‘Enlightened ones who think they’re smarter than decades of research.’ Emotional-discursive analysis of epidemic narratives during the 2024 Montreal measles outbreak
This research explores the emotionality of narratives on outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases following the COVID-19 pandemic. It relies on an emotional-discursive approach interested in outbreak narratives’ emotion orientations, and focuses more specifically on narratives’ potential to (re)direct conduct through the use of emotional notions. Taking the 2024 Montréal measles outbreak as a case study, we relied on a joint methodology combinin…
Intersecting Inequities in Covid-19 Vaccination
Pushing for Structural Reforms
South Asian (SA) communities in Ontario, Canada experienced disproportionately higher rates of COVID-19 infection. Moreover, these communities also faced racism fueled by COVID-19-related misinformation and xenophobic sentiments that placed blame on them for virus transmission. The aim of this research was to understand, from the perspective of local SA communities, the causes behind higher incidences of COVID-19. SA adults ( N = 25) participated…

Digital health literacy, vaccine information sources, and vaccine acceptance among parents in Ontario
Parents make important vaccination decisions for their children and many variables affect parents’ decisions to accept or decline vaccines. Parents are tasked with locating, understanding, and applying information to inform health decisions often using online resources; however, the digital health literacy levels of parents are unknown. The purpose of this study was to investigate parents’ digital health literacy levels, their sources for vaccine…
Adult influenza vaccination coverage before, during and after the Covid-19 pandemic in Canada
Our findings highlight the transient effect of the pandemic on flu vaccine uptake in Canada. The increasing use of pharmacies for vaccinations underscores the importance of accessible and convenient vaccination sites. Future efforts should focus on maintaining and improving vaccination coverage through diverse and adaptable vaccination settings
How older adults manage misinformation and information overload - A qualitative study
This article questions the concept of vulnerability to misinformation by highlighting older adults' agency in managing misinformation and information overload. Furthermore, this study invites us to rethink communication strategies by distinguishing between information overload and misinformation
Routine vaccine uptake in school-aged autistic and non-autistic youth
Newcomer perceptions of Covid-19 countermeasures in Canada
Newcomers to Canada have been disproportionally affected by COVID-19, with higher rates of infection and severity of illness. Determinants of higher rates may relate to social and structural inequities that impact newcomers’ capacity to follow countermeasures. Our aim was to describe and document factors shaping newcomers’ acceptance of COVID-19 countermeasures. Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with individuals living in Cana…
“If I'm a naturopath, It's because I trust nature above everything else”
Canadians and Quebecers increasingly consult complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) practitioners in parallel with biomedical providers. The close relationship between vaccine hesitancy and CAM use remains under explored in Western countries. We present the results of a qualitative study conducted among one of Quebec's most used CAM approaches: naturopathy. Using Boholm and Corvellec's relational theory of risk to illustrate naturopaths' co…
Informing efforts beyond tailored promotional campaigns by understanding contextual factors shaping vaccine hesitancy among equity-deserving populations in Canada
Background Vaccine hesitancy exists on a continuum ranging between complete adherence and complete refusal due to doubts or concerns within a heterogeneous group of individuals. We aim to identify and begin to understand and document the unique contextual factors shaping hesitancy by equity-deserving groups as it relates to relationships with government and health authorities. Methods Participants were recruited and interviewed between Aug-Dec 20…

Factors affecting hesitancy toward Covid-19 vaccine booster doses in Canada
COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy may develop or increase regarding subsequent vaccines. Our findings indicate factors to consider when targeting vaccine-hesitant populations
Nature Does Things Well, Why Should We Interfere
Parents' decision to use vaccination services is complex and multi-factorial. Of particular interest are "vaccine-hesitant" parents who are in the middle of the continuum between vaccine acceptance and refusal. The objective of this qualitative longitudinal study was to better understand why mothers choose to vaccinate-or not-their newborns. Fifty-six pregnant mothers living in different areas of Quebec (Canada) were interviewed. These interviews…
Ten considerations for effectively managing the Covid-19 transition
Governments around the world have implemented measures to manage the transmission of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). While the majority of these measures are proving effective, they have a high social and economic cost, and response strategies are being adjusted. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that communities should have a voice, be informed and engaged, and participate in this transition phase. We propose ten considerations…
Stigma and blame related to Covid-19 pandemic
Measles, Moral Regulation and the Social Construction of Risk
This paper examines media coverage of the 2014-15 measles outbreak that began at Disneyland and spread throughout the United States and into Canada and Mexico. Specifically, it focuses on the construction of 'anti-vaxxers' as a central character in the outbreak's unfolding narrative who came to represent a threat to public health and moral order. Although parents who hold strong anti-vaccine views are small in number, media representations of 'an…
Covid-19 vaccine uptake and intention during pregnancy in Canada
Vaccine safety is a primary concern for this population. Safety information should be communicated to this population as it emerges, along with clear messaging on the benefits of vaccination, as disease risk is either poorly understood or poorly valued in this population

Determinants of non-vaccination against seasonal influenza in Canadian adults
In general, our results were consistent with findings from other Canadian and American studies on seasonal influenza vaccine uptake. Belief that the influenza vaccine is not needed was common, even among those at increased risk of influenza-related complications. Additional research is needed to better understand how sociodemographic factors such as income and education may influence uptake and to raise awareness of potential complications from i…

A(H1N1) pandemic influenza and its prevention by vaccination
Results of this study show important increases in physicians' level of confidence about A(H1N1) vaccine's safety and immunogenicity and their willingness to recommend this vaccine to their patients. These changes could be explained, at least partially, by the important effort done by public health authorities to disseminate information regarding A(H1N1) vaccination

Vaccine hesitancy
Despite being recognized as one of the most successful public health measures, vaccination is perceived as unsafe and unnecessary by a growing number of individuals. Lack of confidence in vaccines is now considered a threat to the success of vaccination programs. Vaccine hesitancy is believed to be responsible for decreasing vaccine coverage and an increasing risk of vaccine-preventable disease outbreaks and epidemics. This review provides an ove…
Mapping vaccine hesitancy—Country-specific characteristics of a global phenomenon
The term vaccine hesitancy refers to delay in acceptance or refusal of vaccines despite the availability of vaccination services. Different factors influence vaccine hesitancy and these are context-specific, varying across time and place and with different vaccines. Factors such as complacency, convenience and confidence are involved. Acceptance of vaccines may be decreasing and several explanations for this trend have been proposed. The WHO Stra…
Strategies intended to address vaccine hesitancy
When faced with vaccine hesitancy, public health authorities are looking for effective strategies to address this issue. In this paper, the findings of 15 published literature reviews or meta-analysis that have examined the effectiveness of different interventions to reduce vaccine hesitancy and/or to enhance vaccine acceptance are presented and discussed. From the literature, there is no strong evidence to recommend any specific intervention to …
Measuring vaccine hesitancy
In March 2012, the SAGE Working Group on Vaccine Hesitancy was convened to define the term "vaccine hesitancy", as well as to map the determinants of vaccine hesitancy and develop tools to measure and address the nature and scale of hesitancy in settings where it is becoming more evident. The definition of vaccine hesitancy and a matrix of determinants guided the development of a survey tool to assess the nature and scale of hesitancy issues. Add…
Vaccine hesitancy, vaccine refusal and the anti-vaccine movement
Despite being recognized as one of the most successful public health measures, vaccination is perceived as unsafe and unnecessary by a growing number of parents. Anti-vaccination movements have been implicated in lowered vaccine acceptance rates and in the increase in vaccine-preventable disease outbreaks and epidemics. In this review, we will look at determinants of parental decision-making about vaccination and provide an overview of the histor…
Psychosocial determinants of parental human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine decision-making for sons
HPV vaccination uptake in Canadian boys was very low in the absence of a publicly funded HPV vaccination programs for boys. Optimal HPV information preferences were identified and can be used in interventions to increase HPV knowledge and increase HPV vaccine uptake. Intentions to vaccinate or planning to speak to one's HCP did not translate into action for most parents over the 9-month follow up; this finding is critical to consider to inform im…

Les enjeux des bactéries multi-résistantes à l’hôpital
Dans le contexte mondial de l’augmentation de la prévalence des bactéries « multi » voire « ultra » résistantes aux traitements antibiotiques, de nombreuses politiques recommandent la mise en place de mesures efficaces de prévention et de contrôle des infections (PCI) à l’hôpital. Les stratégies sont nombreuses et incluent de nouvelles pratiques diagnostiques. L’une d’entre elles vise l’utilisation de tests diagnostiques au chevet du patient. À p…

Systematic review searches must be systematic, comprehensive, and transparent
A high quality systematic review search has three core attributes; it is systematic, comprehensive, and transparent. The current over-emphasis on the primacy of systematic reviews over other forms of literature review in health research, however, runs the risk of encouraging publication of reviews whose searches do not meet these three criteria under the guise of being systematic reviews. This correspondence comes in response to Perman S, Turner …

Vaccine Hesitancy, Acceptance, and Anti-Vaccination
An often-stated public health comment is that “vaccination is a victim of its own success.” While the scientific and medical consensus on the benefits of vaccination is clear and unambiguous, an increasing number of people are perceiving vaccines as unsafe and unnecessary. The World Health Organization identified “the reluctance or refusal to vaccinate despite availability of vaccines” as one of the 10 threats to global health in 2019. The negati…
Understanding Influenza Vaccination During Pregnancy in Canada
To improve uptake of influenza vaccine in pregnancy, it is important to understand the factors that predict prenatal vaccination. The aim of this study was to test the capability of the theory of planned behavior, augmented with information constructs, to predict and explain influenza vaccination uptake in a sample of 600 pregnant individuals in Canada. A baseline survey at the start of influenza season assessed beliefs, norms, perceived control,…
